what might be termed primary
os in higher institutions of

ng more properly to the high
ols. le bolioves that none but
o who are unable to pay should
ivo the benefit of froo tuition in
State colleges.
r. Patterson has had the guber

race an:1 ho has consented to do
glhe gubernatorial campaign is
a fairly launched and some in

uds on the dlisf ensary platform
. The Governor has grea strength
tside of political considerations on
ount of his fine business qualifi
ion, and this goes a long ways
wadays.
Political gossips have it that Col.
Flio Jones will ultimately announce
candidacy. 3esides personal
pularity,' Colonel Jones's main
ength, like Governor McSweo
y's, lies in kis knowledge of con
cting properly large business af
Irs.
Congressman Latimor was talked
considerably as a candidate some
onths ago, but his name has boon
oppod from consideration, as it is
needod that he prefers to stand for
-election.
Senator Mayfield, of Bamberg,
ay be a candidate, and C;i. Knox

An important factor in the contest
ill be the prohibitionists. The

nee this is the time for gubornato
jal booms to be started, the con
erenco will no doubt consider the

(Special to The Stato.)
Spartanburg, Jan. 13.---Jamos H
Carlisle, LL. 1)., who has been Pres
idont of Wofl'ord college since 1875,
will positivo rosign this position and
retiro from the head of this historic
institute after June, 1900. Thii: ses
sion will be his last. Dr. Carlisle
has carefully considered the matter
and fools that, this stop is the best,
as his duties are more confining to
his advanced age. It is not his
intention, however, to sever his
connection with the collo"o on
tirely, and ho will doubtless ac
copt somo chair after this session.
Dr. Carlislo has signified the board
of trustees of his into tion, and the
imovo is duo to no friction or disa
geomont.
Dr. Carlislo has been connected
with Wofford college since 185 1. His
first work was the filling of the chair
of inathonatics. What his individ
uality and character and ability have
accomplished in the education of
hundreds of men of the country is
too well known to deseribe. The
fact that ho has definitely decided to
relinquish the control of the institu
tion of learning which for almost
half a century has been quickened
and enlivened and brought out to its
fullest extent for good work and re
sults by his untiring labors will be
received as very sad news by the peo
ple of the entire State and many
outside. The only consolation to be
derived from the matter is that it is
not his intention to separate from the
college entirely.
The question as to successories is
the -aguest speculation.
